PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas appeals the district
court’s orders denying her motions to reopen the respective underlying district court
actions. We have reviewed the records in the underlying actions and discern no error. We
thus affirm the district court’s orders. See Assa’ad-Faltas v. Weiss, No. 3:15-cv-03186-
TLW (D.S.C. Aug. 2, 2022); Assa’ad-Faltas v. Columbia, S.C., No. 3:13-cv-02715-TLW
(D.S.C. July 28, 2022). We deny all pending motions in these appeals. We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
